Looking back at today’s Bucks in the NBA Summer League

Milwaukee Bucks fans are able to get their first look at 2017 top draft pick D.J. Wilson in the NBA's Las Vergas Summer League. Who knows what the future holds for Wilson, but he's hardly the only Milwaukee player to get his start playing on a summer team. Nearly all the current Bucks have seen action in one of the NBA's offseason leagues, including Thon Maker and Rashad Vaughn, who are playing alongside Wilson this July. Here's a look at how the other Bucks (beyond Maker, Vaughn and Gary Payton II, all playing this year) did in their summer forays.

GIANNIS ANTETOKOUNMPO

After being selected with the No. 15 overall pick in the 2013 draft, Antetokounmpo played with the Greek under-20 team that summer. In 2014, though, Antetokounmpo played in four of Milwaukee's five summer games and led the Bucks' contingent with a 17.0 points per game. He also averaged 5.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks (oh, and 4.5 turnovers) over 32.9 minutes. We'd say this was a glimpse of things to come, but he was barely scratching the surface.

MALCOLM BROGDON

The eventual NBA Rookie of the Year had a solid summer, posting stats which would be eerily similar to his regular-season numbers -- 10.2 points, 5.0 rebounds, a team-high 4.4 assists and 0.4 assists in 31.5 minutes. Think Milwaukee saw something in Brogdon? No Buck saw more minutes than Brogdon, not even 2016 first-rounder Thon Maker or 2015 top pick Rashad Vaughn.

MATTHEW DELLAVEDOVA

An undrafted free agent in 2013, Dellavedova signed with Cleveland. He'd average only 2.8 points and 3.0 assists in 20.1 minutes over five games, but he showed enough to eventually hook on with the Cavaliers for the season. Delly would return to the summer league in 2014 and stepped up his game. In three contests he averaged 11.7 points, 4.7 assists and 4.7 rebounds in 32.0 minutes.

SPENCER HAWES

A first-round pick of Sacramento in 2007, Hawes played two years for the Kings in the summer league. In 2007, he averaged 16.6 points and 5.4 rebounds over 33.3 minutes in five games and was named all-tournament first team. Playing five games again in 2008, Hawes averaged 17.0 points, 8.4 rebounds and 1.6 blocks in 33.2 minutes.

JOHN HENSON

Henson played in both 2012 and '13 and was named to the all-tournament team both years. In 2012, Henson appeared in four games, averaging 18.3 points, 6.8 rebounds and 1.5 blocks in 32.6 minutes while shooting 53.4 percent from the field. In 2013, he played in three games and in 27.2 minutes averaged 14.7 points, 13.7 rebounds and 3.0 blocks with a 54.8 field-goal percentage.

KHRIS MIDDLETON

Middleton was a second-round pick of Detroit. Unlike Milwaukee, the Pistons play in the Orlando summer league. In 2012, Middleton averaged just 6.0 points and 2.8 rebounds over 23.2 minutes. He returned in 2013, but played only two games, averaging 10.0 points and 3.5 rebounds.

GREG MONROE

Detroit's top pick in 2010, Monroe played in all five of the Pistons' Las Vegas games that year (yes, Detroit played in Vegas back then before moving to the Florida league), just one of five players to appear in all five of Detroit's summer contests. In 30.6 minutes, Monroe averaged 14.6 points and led the team with 8.0 rebounds and 1.8 steals.

JABARI PARKER

The Bucks' top pick in 2015 joined their No. 1 selection from the previous year as Parker teamed up with Antetokounmpo. While Giannis led the team in scoring average, Parker paced the Bucks in rebounding (8.2 average) while scoring 15.6 points per game. Parker played in all five games and averaged 28.6 minutes, only one of two players to average over 24 minutes (Antetokounmpo being the other).

TONY SNELL

Chicago's top pick in 2013 saw extensive action with the Bulls both as a rookie and in 2014. In 2013, Snell averaged 11.8 points and 6.6 rebounds in 34.5 minutes. The following year, Snell was one of the best players in the Las Vegas league, named to the all-tournament first team after averaging 20.0 points and making half of his 34 three-point attempts.
